Install
Smart Phone Add Cert tool
First, you'll need to
obtain the SPAddCert.exe tool and
install it to your Windows Mobile Pocket
PC.
-
Download the
SPAddCert.exe tool that will allow
you to add the Root Certificate to
your PPC device:
Download SPAddCert.exe (182kb)
-
Connect your PPC to
the computer. On your computer,
start ActiveSync, and then click
Explore.
-
Next, extract the
contents of the downloaded file to a
temporary folder.
-
From that folder,
copy the SPAddCert.exe file, and
paste to the following path on your
PPC:
Windows\Start
Menu\Accessories
or
Windows\Start
Menu\Programs
Note: I'm not
sure if this is a must, I've tested
with other paths and it still
worked. Test it on yourself if you
want.
